(This section of the site is yet to be developed.)
The content of this section would match the two workshops actually
given on managing communication for an online class using Blackboard.
Managing Communication with Students I:
The workshop begins with an overview of Computer-mediated Communication
(CMC) and then looks at ways to manage one-to-one interactions
with students. Topics include online etiquette and styles of posting
online messages, questions of personal expression and anonymity
(or identity gaming), and suggestions for use of the "Digital
Dropbox" for students to submit projects for an instructor's
feedback or other comments.
Managing Communication with Students II:
This session session looks at ways to support online discussions
and working collaboratively for instructional purposes. Use of
the "Discussion Board", which students and instructors
may use to communicate publicly to the entire class, or more selectively
to members of one or more working groups include the use of Blackboard's
"Select" and "Collect" buttons in the Discussion
Board (to group responses chronologically), ways for instructors
to model good participation in discussions, and "Hosting"
as a means to the development of online learning communities.
